Sarvam AI opens voice AI platform to public

What they do

Sarvam AI builds a sovereign AI platform for Indic languages

It is opening its Sarvam Samvaad voice AI agents platform to all businesses

The voice AI stack contributes 80% of its $12 million annual revenue

Sarvam AI is opening its Sarvam Samvaad voice AI agents platform to the general public.
Previously, access was limited to enterprise customers through a waitlist.
Now any business can sign up and build voice AI workflows using a self-serve flow.
Pricing is still being decided, with options like usage-based billing, tiered plans, and a freemium layer with limited credits.
The voice AI stack generates 80% of Sarvam AI's current $12 million annual recurring revenue (ARR).
Sarvam AI is reportedly in talks to raise $250 million in a round that could make it a unicorn (valuation over $1 billion).
Potential investors in that round include Nvidia, Accel, and HCLTech.
The company plans to hire a San Francisco office and pursue global go-to-market ambitions.

Sarvam AI's move to a public platform signals a shift from enterprise-only to mass-market adoption of its voice AI.
The reported $250 million funding round would be one of the largest for an Indian AI startup.
Direct competition with ElevenLabs intensifies after ElevenLabs launched ElevenAgents in September 2025.
The company's website changed from 'Experience Sarvam' to a 'Sign Up' flow, confirming the broader accessibility shift.

Sarvam AI is a full-stack sovereign AI platform built on sovereign compute (AI infrastructure controlled by the country).
It offers Voice Agents, Text to Speech, Speech to Text, Document Digitisation, and Translation across Indic languages.
Text to Speech supports 11 Indic languages, Speech to Text supports 12 Indic languages, and Translation supports 23 languages.
Its infrastructure serves 10 billion+ tokens (units of text processed), with median latency under 100 milliseconds and uptime SLA of 99.9%.
Deployment options include Sarvam Cloud, Private Cloud (VPC), and On-Premises (air-gapped) for regulated industries.
Security certifications include SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and DPDP (India's data protection law) compliance.
Client Tata Capital uses Sarvam Samvaad for multilingual interactions across consumer loan products.
Customer Shallu Kaushik of Tata Capital praised the partnership for scaling personalized multilingual interactions.

Sarvam AI plans to hire a San Francisco office.
It will pursue global go-to-market ambitions.
Pricing will be finalized with options like usage-based billing, tiered plans, and a freemium layer.
